The essentials include balloons, banners, tableware, and cake toppers. You can then add themed backdrops, confetti, and party lights to complete the look. A good rule of thumb is to choose a few statement pieces that match your theme rather than overcrowding the space.

Start with the guest of honour’s interests, favourite colours, hobbies, TV characters, or even the decade they were born in. Once you’ve picked a theme, you can coordinate decorations, tableware, and balloons around it for a more polished look.

It’s best to prepare your main decorations (like banners and balloon garlands) the day before the party, then add finishing touches on the morning of the celebration. Helium balloons are best inflated on the day itself to ensure they float beautifully throughout the event.

Absolutely. Personalised banners, balloons, and tableware add a thoughtful touch that makes the day feel extra special. They’re also wonderful for photos and keepsakes after the party.
